Specimen Preparation
Urine samples:
Enter urine volume in SDES.
• Place barcode label vertically at the top of the transport tube label.
• Transfer 2 mL urine to Urine Specimen Transport Tube on receipt in the lab/microbiology. The proper fill level should be noted between the black fill lines on the transport tube label.
If a call is received from a clinician or clinic because there is concern for sexual abuse, refer them to Child and Adolescent Sexual Abuse Resource Center at SFGH (415)206-8386. RNs are on call 24 hours.
If LGV PCR ordered on rectal swab, send out:
• Order Microbiology Test Not Listed in Apex (P319).
• Collect 2 swabs, one in VHM and the other in APTIMA Unisex swab collection kit.
• Send to SFDPH for testing.
• Freeze VHM at -70°C if not sent within 72 hrs.
